All-Clad® Stainless Steel Skillets

We love how these skillets handle everything from stir-fry to steak with ease and transfer seamlessly from stovetop to oven. These efficient multi-taskers feature flat bottoms and flared sides for effortless tossing or easy turning with a spatula. Great for cooking at high heat with oils to develop foods with full, rich flavor and crisp texture.

Times and Locations: All-Clad&#174; Stainless Steel Skillets

I coveted this pan for a while and my husband surprised me with it as a gift. I balked at the extravagant price tag, but this pan is well worth it. Love the feel of it, even heat, and cleans up beautifully

I have the 12"" skillet and it's pretty much perfect in every way. It's my first high-end piece of cookware so it was a bit of a shock paying so much for it. It heats very evenly and pretty quickly, and I've never had a problem with food sticking or impossible cleanup. Great skillet

These are a great value, and soon you'll find yourself flipping food like a celebrity chef! The edges make pouring easy. The handles stay cool. And the pans are super-responsive. You can put them right in the oven for a nice pan sear. Plus, the straight handles make for easy nesting and storage.

Started with a 10-piece All-Clad set, and added another 8"" skillet for eggs, another 10"" and a 12"" for larger fish and other protein, and finally the 14"" for mole (the Mexican sauce, not the varmint). It's great to be able to customize the set with extra pieces as needed. Now have a total of six All-Clad skillets, and am extremely happy with them.

These are the last skillets you will ever buy. They heat evenly cook evenly and clean easily. I have other less expensive ones and I can tell the difference between them. The bonus? They are made in the USA.

Best Answer:Pour in enough oil to coat the pan bottom and swirl it up the the sides. Use a high heat oil. Heat the pan to near smoking but do not let it reach smoking point. If it does, start over. Add eggs and let them sit. Do not stir them until they begin to set. If you are making an omelet, you can carefully lift up the edge of the eggs and tilt the skillet to let the excess egg run under the edge. Do this on all sides. Once the eggs have set, they should slide easily in the pan. If it appears the pan is too hot when cooking the eggs, turn heat down slightly and lift the skillet off the burner for a few seconds until it has cooled slightly and the pan has also cooled a bit. To clean your pan, fill with hot water and let it sit. This will release any bits of egg that may have adhered to the pan. Good luck. I've used the All-Clad stainless for years and love it. Remember: don't get the pan too hot, don't stir the eggs until they are set, remove skillet from heat for a few seconds if it gets too hot while cooking eggs, soak pan in hot water to loosen any cooked on bits.

I traded in ease of cleaning for a pan set that I feel performs more superior.I season the pan with oil generously and then I cook on a med temperature fomost items, not high heat, to reduce burning and sticking. Soaking the pan immediately in hot, soapy, water will make clean up easier. A round, wooden bristle,hand scrubber does the final cleaning up.

do they come with lids? What is the difference between this and the french skillet?

A shopper on Nov 7, 2011

Best Answer:The French skillet has more surface area than the skillet, and will keep the food better in the pan if you toss your food in it. It doesn't have the rim that the frypan has, but these pans are not really used for pouring much liquid, but rather braising and searing. In addition, the French skillet is more light weight

What is the difference between this 12"" skillet which is $154.95 and the All Clad 12"" skillet on sale for $99.

A shopper on Feb 21, 2013

Best Answer:I, too had the same question, although the 12"" skillet with the lid is no longer on sale for $99. The original question from Jane B. was asked over a year ago and now it is on sale for $119.96. I finally emailed All-Clad for an answer because I really wanted this particular pan. It comes highly recommended by the editors of Cook's Illustrated, but I couldn't understand why there was such a price difference between the pan with the lid and the pan w/o the lid. I specifically asked if there was a difference between the two pans in weight, size and/ or slope of the sides. An All-Clad rep. wrote back and said that the pans are the same! One just comes with a lid. Bottom line: buy the one with the lid

Thanks, Amanda, but the less expensive skillet has a lid, and the more expensive one does not, which still leaves the question--what is the difference between the two All Clad 12"" skillets that merits one a higher price tag?Perhaps someone from Sur La Table can answer. The higher price tag implies a difference in quality, place of manufacture ...something. Can you tell us what it is, please
